REVIEWING THE DAYS OF YESTERYEAR BY OLGA SANCHIONI and ISABELLE COPPER “Now time has fled—the world is strange Something there is of pain, and change My books are closed upon my shelf I miss the old heart in myself.” Like a thinly vanishing shadow, Time has in its own mysterious way, slipped through our busy fingers; forever leaving the remnants of happy and pleasant days, and lifelong friendships with our class¬ mates and teachers. We have trod many a rough path, and we have grown steadily in physical, intel¬ lectual, and moral prestige since that un- forgetable day, September 14, 1937, when the doors of Milford High School were opened to welcome the Class of ’41. No doubt, our greatest impression was the spaciousness of the building; and our dearest memory was the welcoming speech given by our principal, Frank C. Berry. Immediately, we determined to make our presence known. Although we were unable to really associate with the upper¬ classmen because we had our school hours during the afternoon, and they had theirs during the morning, we nevertheless were responsible on a large scale for the success¬ ful Friday nite socials. We’ll never forget our first social. Even with the humilating name of “Freshie” ringing in our ears we managed to have a wonderful time, since the name did signify our importance, the importance of 240 raring-to-go freshmen. Feeling quite proud and honored that we were to have class officers, we elected Alfred Cassinelli as President, Catherine Baci, as vice-president, Fred Jones as Treasurer, and Olga Sanchioni as Secre¬ tary. The Student Association brightened our lives with many entertaining and edu¬ cational features. We again felt honored with Mary Curran, Alfred Pantano, and Helen Duggan representing our class on this committee. Under the supervision of Mr. Benja¬ min Consoletti, the Freshman Science Club was reorganized, and we were present at many various and interesting demonstra¬ tions and observation tours. We were so busy with our duties as freshmen that we never noticed Time creeping upon us ending our first year as high school students. We started our second year with a bang! With an increase in social activi¬ ties, and an increase in homework. One of the many benefits of being Sophies was the fact that we now attended morning ses¬ sions and were in that way able to associ¬ ate with the upper classmen. One of the main attractions of this year was the for¬ mation of the Commercial Club under the supervision of Miss Eva Burns, of the fac¬ ulty. This club was organized for the benefit of business students, who were en¬ tertained during the year with socials and educational features. Again we were rep¬ resented by Olga Sanchioni and Marjorie Carbone who acted as members of the Social committee. We began our Junior year with the same officers who ably acted for us during our sophomore year, with the exception of the office of treasurer, which was now filled by David Moriarty. Time again had drawn its veil of mystery over the former years, but we stepped happily along to that year when clubs flourished, and committees bloomed: Our Junior Year. Again the class showed marvelous foresight in electing as our ring commit¬ tee a group of students who selected our class rings with such good taste that it has been decided that our ring be proclaimed standard. Miss Sadie O’Connell reorganized the David Garrick Club and we shall always remember the trip we made to attend a per¬ formance of Hamlet which was given by the Clark University under the direction of Professor Ellingworth. The performance was of additional interest to us since Mr. Ellingworth had previously given us an il¬ lustrated talk at our high school. 15
